Tough Loss to Zealand East

The Bulldogs lost 45-40 to Zealand East on Tuesday night.  The Bulldogs played hard on the defensive end against a squad that has not lost this year.  They did give up 4 threes in the first half, but went into the break only down 2.  ZEast went on a run to end the 3rd quarter as some mental fatigue set in.  The guys fought back, however, cutting the lead to 41-40 with just a couple minutes left in the game.  However, no one was able to hit a shot down the stretch and Zealand East scored the final 4 points of the game.  The Bulldogs hurt themselves at the line, going 6 of 15 from the charity stripe.  It was a good effort and hopefully we can build on it and get Sawyer back soon.  We have a few days off before getting ready for the Cornerstone Holiday Tournament.  Have a great Christmas!
